Update on Greg

I thought I should let everyone know how Greg is doing from his broken leg. He had surgery a week and a half ago in Flagstaff. They placed a titanium rod in his right leg to help the break heal. He was in the hospital for 3 days. That was a rough 3 days. He was suppose to be able to go home on The Friday after his surgery, but he started having chest pains and could keep his oxygen sats above 90% without help. They did a CT scan of his chest to make sure he hadn't thrown a clot. Luckily the scan came back clean of clots, but the scan picked something else up in Greg's chest. THey said it was a nodule above his heart that should be kept an eye on. He is to have another CT scan in 6 months to make sure that what they had found wasn't growing or becoming a problem. Thats a little scary to think about, but we are trusting God that there will be good news and the nodule they found in his chest is nothing. Greg is back at school and back to a pretty normal routine. His pain has gotten better, but is still there. This upcoming Wednesday 2/3, he is getting his stitches out from the surgery and will be given a walking cast. He will still have to use his crutches, but hopefully they will be able to let him slowly stop using his crutches. He is anxious to get back to normal. Its been tough to get around because of all the ice and snow still on the ground from the massive storms that past through Flagstaff that dumped 5 feet of snow in roughly 3-4 days. Its also been hard for him to move around our apartment due to small spaces. However, he is managing. I am so proud of him! Greg has handled this situation so well and has never given up. I am doing everything I can to help him in his time of need! Here are pics after his surgery of the rod and screws they put in his leg.

So this is what he got for skiing and trying something new. I don't think he will ever try moguls ever again. Greg should be completely healed in another 4-6 weeks from now. Impressive huh?!?!
